This blog is dedicated to the memory of my beautiful girl Destiny. She was an American Eskimo / Border Collie mix. She had been diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) in April of 2008, but had tenacity and a strong will and a love for life.... I thought perhaps sharing my story would help other 4-legged friends and DogMa's who have gone through the same struggles, heartache, and never ending love and adoration.

365 days from this Earth, my sweet girl. I imagine a time we are together again... frolicking through daisy peppered fields, laying on our backs and watching the clouds drift by... napping in the sun, and flicking butterflies from your ears. Explore Paradise well my girl, I want to see it all, and have you be my guid...e when I arrive. Find the best swimming holes to cool ourselves, the best rivers to fish, the most gentle fields to rest..the best trails to explore ... and in the meantime, our adventures live on in my dreams... my beautiful beautiful Destiny.

I am so very sorry about your loss and your immense sorrow. I have lived in your shoes and I will be wearing them again - the thought of living life without animals at my feet and in my home is unacceptable.

I came across your blog from a readers site to my blog at Pet Portraits http://pet-portraits-oilpaintings.blogspot.com/

I lost my Yorkie after many years in September and still miss him terribly. Our pets fill us with so much love, that my heart feels deflated without the daily wet kisses. You wrote a lovely tribute. I can't seem to manage to even write two sentences before the tears start to roll.

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
